Clinton will speak up and show where he clearly tried to warn the in coming admin but they ignored him and allowed it to happen anyways.

seeing that he and Hillary are now officially considered to be honorary members of the Bush Crime Family. Chimpy thinks of HRH "as a sister-in-law."

The Clintons are both very much in The Club, and the first rule of The Club is that you never, ever criticize other members, especially in public.

Former President Bush has spoken at length about his close ties to former President Bill Clinton, at times calling him his "brother from another mother."

CNN's Candy Crowley asked Bush during an interview published Friday where that leaves Hillary Clinton: "My sister-in-law!" the president responded light-heartedly.

how a clearly anti-Republican thread somehow segues into an attack on Democrats- the Clintons in particular- though I guess that since this is DU and we are all supposed to loathe HRC and love Bernie, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, unfortunately.

He blamed "The Clintons" as if Hillary were co-President with Bill. Blaming either Clinton is bullshit since George Bush was President but never before have I heard a first lady blamed - must be the official ReTHUG meme.

They reverted to saying "8 months" but they did roll this out for a day or so. They pretty much blamed Clinton from the beginning.

it is a little more believable than their version, which has Bush mysteriously taking office on September 12 or whatever. They had a lot of people fooled into that for over a decade! Thank you Trump, for busting that balloon, which the media have never questioned.
